Has this article been discussed here? How to evade punishment by becoming a woman. Might be triggering.

I've had a look and can't see this, apologies if it's been talked about already...

After being abused and struggling to come forward about it, a young man is now talking out about his horror at the lack of punishment for his abuser, who has recently said he's a woman.

The judge "admitted he had difficulty sentencing a transsexual because courses designed to help sex offenders reform were only available to men".

Really?! Really? FFS.

2 years on the Sex Offenders register and £500 in compensation is not justice.
I dont believe violent or sexual offenders should be allowed to change their name or sex.

I have no words.

But this never happens, zod.

The courses are only available to men? HE IS A FUCKING MAN FFS.

No custodial sentence? Fucking hell.

I don’t really know what to say

Casey was 13 at the time it happened.

I do think it is very brave of him to talk publicly like this, but it shouldn't be necessary. That person should have been put away for a long time. In a male prison. How can you get no jail time for abusing a child for 6 months?

Casey goes on to say:

"It still affects me to this day. I have never had any male friends. I won't be on my own with just a man – I won't see a male doctor, I won't sit in an interview for a job with just a man."

Well, if self-ID comes in Casey won't get a bloody choice about it.

It is shameful that we are letting down victims like Casey. Again and again.

There’s a comment from the NSPCC in the article. I wonder what their take on self-ID is.

This will partly depend on how many trans people who work there have influence and what their intentions are.

But self-ID has implications for safeguarding. That’s part of what they do, isn’t it? Surely it’s irrelevant if they have trans employees?

Something similar was discussed by a poster a while back who worked in that field.

Historically there have been no programs for female sex offenders because there is no demand (therefore not cost effective). There is something like 120 female sex offenders in the UK prison estate and a handful of those are TW.

I guess what they will do is run a 2nd program using the same content as the male one (given the offending patterns are no different) and call it Female rehabilitation.

Of course to the untrained eye this is going to look as though female sex offences have risen to the point we need specialist programs for them.

Reason 20 billion why we cannot have Self ID.

If community service is not an option then look at a proper fine or prison. Gender status is irrelevant here.

Jeez. And this guy was a taxi driver for a special school. I bloody well hope that they have contacted every other family whose child he was driving, for the duration of his career.
He had absolute access to vulnerable children.
If Casey was the only victim, I would be surprised.
